Owners

Hello from Geof Knight and Nancy Brenton. We became owners of the shop March 1, 2008. We are very excited about expanding the services and products at our quilt shop. Geof has become a Certified Technician for Janome sewing machines and will be able to keep your machine tuned and ready to sew anytime. He will be expanding to other brand machines too. Some of his favorite pastimes are fly fishing and golfing. This will tie into our plans to create Retreats (see our Classes/Retreats page) that can include your Hubby or Significant Other. You can quilt your heart all day long and Geof will take them fishing or golfing at the best northern California rivers and golf courses.

Nancy started her quilting passion right here at Sew Unique Quilt Shop. This will give Nancy the opportunity to get back to her love of art and photography with which she wants to take her photos and design quilt patterns that represent the scenic area. She will be adding many new classes and teachers from other areas so the shop can keep up with the most current trends but will continue to offer the traditional quilting. Our long time popular teachers will definitely stay. If there is something you can't find in our store please ask and we will do our best to find it for you. We definitely want to make your quilting time exciting and an adventure.
